RE: driveline vibes
Maybe some of you have noticed my lack of jeep activity. Or my excuses for lack of activity. I havent been wheeling in MONTHS! MONTHS! I have been tinkering here and there, but nothing serious. Today, I said the heck with it. And pulled out my steering box along with the steering shaft. I cleaned that sucker up because it was DIRTY! Here are some pics of my dirty box.
It's much cleaner now. I am getting new hoses and clamps for everything. Plus, the boot is thrashed so I am replacing that too.
Now onto the bigger deal. I did all I could do for the steering box. But I wanted something else to do. So, I did this......
Blocked it up.....
Looked at this suitcase sized skid and decided it had to go....
Look at this mess!
Started with this....
And ended up with this.....
So I pulled the t-case skid and decided to start my flat skid mod I have been wanting to do since forever. I pulled the seats and the center consol so I could get the carpet up and have everything out of my way. I figure I might as well hurculine too while I am down here. Here are the rest of the pics.
I know it's just a baby step, but I am just setting up to get it all done. I will keep you all posted on how this flat skid goes. Doesnt seam like it will be that bad. Just have to make up some brackets for the 4wd lever. Fab up a skid, and cut some holes in the floor and I should be good. I figure it will be done sometime in april.
